John LaRocca, Michelle’s agent, thought: ‘She was working at Vons in Orange County when she came into my office, and I said, “Michelle you’re in the wrong business.” It wasn’t just that she was beautiful, she had a sense of character, a sense of family, a sense of love.’
She had an agent, but while she was going after acting jobs, she was still working for Vons: ‘I kept my super market job, but I got a transfer to one in Hollywood.’ She moved from Orange County (‘It could have been …

At the age of eighteen, there was no question Michelle Pfeiffer was a beauty. Like all teenagers, she was prone to being a fashion victim, but in the environment of the sun, sand and surf it’s difficult to go too wrong. And with her luminous skin and the cascading, glorious hair she was a California girl who glowed in a crowd. Everyone noticed. Her hairdresser, Jon Evans, who would later work with Liz Taylor’s crimper Jose Eber, said she should try modelling. The idea of parading in public rather embarrassed …

Her trip from hedonism to Hollywood is a classic of the fame to fortune, rags to riches genre. But it was all because Michelle Pfeiffer found her sense of purpose and pursued it. When you wander around the Vons supermarkets or any of these giant food emporiums, stuffed like an Aladdin’s Cave with goodies, you can almost sense the daydreams as the staff flick the groceries over the electronic eye, and the goods roll along to the packer who’ll ask you, ‘Paper or plastic?’ giving you a choice of the …

‘My father was very strict. I was very strong-willed. My earliest memory is going off to the circus when I wasn’t supposed to go. I was about eight. I got whipped right in the front yard when I got home. But I mostly just didn’t know how to behave on a date. I’ve always had a very extreme personality, which gets me into major trouble. I’m always all or nothing, and I don’t know the word “balance“.’
It would get her into major romantic difficulties in the future, but as a …

The Dakota work ethic kicked in first. Her father paid her 50 cents a time to clean second hand fridges, which he would then work on, recondition and sell. ‘He showed us without actually saying it that you get things in life from hard work, that you didn’t just sit back and take,’ said Dee Dee Pfeiffer.
Michelle Pfeiffer started working at part time jobs when she was just fourteen years old. ‘I saw her say in some magazine interview in 1992 that high school sucked,’ said her world-history teacher, John …

And the Pfeiffers were a middle-of-the-road ‘normal’ family. Michelle Pfeiffer says she used to watch re-runs of old movies on television and remembers casually thinking: I can do that. Her mother doesn’t drive, and there was no cinema near the Pfeiffer home so television was the constant source of early entertainment. Two films of that childhood time remain favorites: The Wizard of Oz and The Bad Seed. Both films were directed by Mervyn Le Roy, and both involved young girls embroiled in strange happenings. The Yellow Brick Road fantasy of …

Richard ‘Dick’ Pfeiffer was fed up with the cold and discontent of the post-war 1950s in North Dakota. He was watching a Western on television one night and saw the wagon train rolling West. The theme was the new life. In his twenties, he and his wife Donna, who is one year older, decided to make the same trip: start a new life, start a family. Southern California in the fifties was a place of space, hope and chances as opposed to the flawed paradise of overcrowding, fear and dismay …

Michelle Pfeiffer started out with all the requisites for bimbo limbo. She is blonde and blue-eyed, and in her teenager years she was bored. She was also in southern California. The Beach Boys sang about the West Coast Girls being hip and cool, and Pfeiffer was most certainly that. She dated the coolest boys, strutted the sexiest stuff along the Pacific coast beaches around the Californian surf capital of Huntington Beach -known to the surf crowds as HB; she was, in the parlance of the early seventies, a surf bunny.
